Principal's Message
Dear Zeh Families,
We had a fun week, and it feels like we are finally starting to settle into our routines. On Thursday, we held our first Community Meeting where we talked about what it means to be part of a community and how each of us has an important role in making school a great place to spend our day.
Next Tuesday, September 9th, we invite all families to join us for Open House from 6:00–7:30. You are welcome to drop in anytime during that window to meet your child’s teachers and visit the school. Please also remember that Tuesday is our first early release day of the year, with dismissal beginning at 11:40.
We are also excited to be using a new math curriculum this year, Eureka Math². This K–5 Math & ELA Curriculum Document provides more information about the program as well as our other core instructional resources. As always, if you have any questions about what your child is learning or how they are progressing, please reach out to their teacher.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone next week!
Mr. Bell jbell@nsboro.k12.ma.us
